The Ghost Maker 20 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is this the fastest way to gut a rabbit? Does anyone know of a quicker way? Shooting it with a .243 or 50 cal does not count as gutting Quote Link to post
derbylad1 293 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 yeah very quick...but wont it taint the meat. looks like it bursts the bag Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Quality Malc, Ive seen you do that somewhere else . Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm definately going to give this technique a go on my next bunny! Been thinking of doing it for a while, just seems bloody gruesome ha ha! Quote Link to post
Pelletpower 203 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is there not a lot me chance the guts will burst inside and contaminate the meat doing it this way though?? It is definitely faster that way but when I was shown how to skin and gut bunnies I have always been told be carefull not to stab the intestines as it will ruin the meat?? Atb Quote Link to post
The Ghost Maker 20 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Works a treat and does not split the intestines either. Look at the Video response underneath for the original video of a guy called Steve doing it and he shows you how it all stays together. Brilliant! Quote Link to post
Pelletpower 203 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I did see one ages ago it was a couple of yanks doing it, he shook it first holding the head to try and make everything fall down towards the arse end then done exactly what you done.. I'm abit of a wimp when it comes to things like that,! I can skin and get them the normal way with the knife but don't know if I could bring myself to do it that way! Does look so much faster though.. And well done on the new video u n Si make a great team! 1 Quote Link to post

Magwitch 687 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 try doing that to a tough old buck.......................................... 1 Quote Link to post
derbylad1 293 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Good point....its no quicker that using a knife. each their own, especially if your out and forget ya knife. I have done...many times Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 surely once youve sliced the bunny open its as quick anything i can slice em gut them in no time but i suppose its different! each to there own tho so im not having a pop at any one -billy Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I guess the point to this method might be you can quickly gut the rabbit once shot and hook em on a tree or gate whilst you continue your shoot safe in the knowledge there is only a small hole where the guts exited the body to cut down on fly contamination. Especially I'd said rabbit is going in the pot. Quote Link to post
Lewis Ste 245 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I use this method and it's so much quicker and easier while out in the field and It doesnt make your hands stink, the only downsides to it are the normally have to remove the stomach after when you get home and with fully grown bucks the may have to slice where the bulge is on the back legs Lewis Quote Link to post
inan 841 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 try doing that to a tough old buck.......................................... Yes especially when you have 36 to do, as we did last night. Quicker to slit and draw imo. Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 In the time you have done that I would have had it skinned as well. One cut under the rib cage, thumb in, pull down, opens the belly and takes the skin off, keep pulling skins the legs, turn it around pull the skin towards the head. remove head. One skinned and gutted rabbit, in less that 15 secs. Can't do the same with a hare, usually get cover in blood from them. Quote Link to post
